The Year Average Price for the Greater Toronto Area had an 8.35% year increase from $523,036 in 2013 to $566,726 in 2014. There has been a shortage of listings for single family homes that resulted in higher prices for the overall available properties.

For 2015, banks are not seeing any changes in borrowing costs so consumers are expected to continue with the trend of investing in Real Estate. Condos are also estimated to continue its popular growth and areas such as Yonge & Eglinton and Yorkville are going to have a whole array of new offerings that are good for consumers who will have lots of choices to select and invest. Townhouses are still a norm on main arteries and are transforming neighbourhoods such as Little Italy.

Following the yearly trend, the beginning of the year started slow having a peak of sales and prices in May and October which are traditionally the highest months for transactions.
